Re: [RC] Wash your car - can't water your livestock... - Linda Marins


----- Original Message ----- 
From: Spottedracer@xxxxxx 

Just saw this story on the evening news.... lafayette, Macon County, TN has 
implemented new water >restrictions:...
Farmers CANNOT use public water to fill/supply water to ANY livestock...
...
will simply KILL all of their livestock once their trophs go dry..
...
Since horses are considered 'livestock' - all horse owners face this same 
dilemma...

I have a very hard time believing that the Tennessee Farm Bureau would allow
such a restriction to stay in effect.  TNFB is extremely powerful politically.
I'd be on the phone to Farm Bureau, my Farm Bureau regional rep, my state
legislators (local governments are *not* allowed to overrule state laws and
regulations), the state Dept. of Ag vets, the local Extension agent,
AND the Humane Society!!!
